About this map

Boggstown and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Johnson County are defined by the winding course of Sugar Creek and its many tributaries. This area, shown just after the first decade of the 2000s, maintains a rural character punctuated by small clusters of settlement at Needham, London, and Urmeyville. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, including the Francis Cemetery, House Cemetery, and Sandhill Cemetery.

Industry and transport are represented by The Red Mills situated along the creek and small aviation fields like Miller Airport and Gray RLA Airport. The land is crisscrossed by a network of drainage systems such as Gibson Ditch and Shaw Ditch, reflecting the managed hydrology necessary for the region's productive farmland. The northern edge is clipped by the historical corridor of N Michigan Rd, a primary artery through this part of the state.
